> Democracy, Good Governance and Human Rights

Promoting the development of human rights, democratic principles and better governance are at the heart of the Foreign Policy Centre's mission. The FPC believes that these goals need to be given greater weight in international decision making for both moral and long-term strategic reasons. However we understand that the mechanisms used to reach those goals will differ depending on context. The FPC's research aims to support the work of local and diaspora human rights activists and develop clear policy recommendations for how the international community, in particular the UK and EU, should act to support those on the ground in achieving their goals.

Adam Hug leads the FPC's work on these issues in the Middle East and former Soviet Union, Email: adam.hug[at]fpc.org.uk
